PPHS Teacher Roman Mythology

Roman Mythology is something that is an interesting topic and something that is also fun to learn about. Each god or goddess has their certain characteristics, whether that may be war, wisdom, a specific power, beauty, ect. . . As for the teachers at Pleasant Plains High School, there are a couple teachers that I think meet a couple of the standards for either a god or goddess.
Deity: Jupiter
Orgin: Greek (Zues)
god of : Sky, lightning, and thunder
Teacher: Mr. Ward
Now, there are certain facts behind my reasoning, when comparing our principal Mr. Ward and Zeus. In my mind, Zeus is the protector and his temple is the official place where meetings were held. Mr. Ward conducts all the business and concerns of the school and his office is the place where meetings of importance are held. He watches over the high school, much like Zeus overlooks the earth from above. Zeus is also called the "Ruler of the Gods". Mr. Ward, is in a way the supervisor and leader of the teachers at Pleasant Plains High School. Though they all work together to make the high school better, Mr. Ward, is usually the one behind all the planning in charge of making things happen.
Deity: Minerva
Orgin: Greek (Athena)
goddess of: Wisdom, Learning, the Arts, Sciences, Medicine
Teacher: Mrs. Lee
I thought that our science teacher Mrs. Lee would definitely compare to Athena the goddess of sciences and medicine. Mrs. Lee teaches the classes of Anatomy, Biology, and AP Biology. So not only does she teach the science (biology), but she also teaches the medicine (anatomy). In her years of teaching experience, she also has the wisdom of all the knowledge of teaching for so long.
Another teacher that could qualify for Athena, would be Mrs. Williams. She is in charge of math and also has the wisdom for teaching for so long. One never questions Mrs. Williams because odds are, she is going to be right.
